Repression works better than reward

It is true for anything but especially for changing human behavior. Let's take the swedish superstore IKEA for example, they charge you 5 cents for every plastic bags you use. That's repression.On the other side, some grocery store gives you 5 cents for every reusable bag you use (reward). People are angry when you take 5 cent out of their pocket but don't care when give them the same amount. Result? people still use plastic bags and forget their reusable bags at homes but always remember to bring them when they go to IKEA. In general, people hate repression but I really think its the only way to change our behavior.Franky

I see that the paragraphs are not being created as you would like.
You have to select Input Format as "Full HTML." We should set that to the default.
/Also, I agree to some extent your repression vs. reward argument. With the additional idea that, repression only works for a period of time, before the subject tires of the feedback, and looks for an alternative. Oddly, the same thing goes for reward. When rewarded, the subject will eventually EXPECT the reward as a matter of normal fact, rather than view the reward as an encouragement.

I reset the default to "Full HTML".
And quit talking about your damn dog. Just because SHE expects a treat every time she pees doesn't mean everyone does. For me, a good dump is a reward unto itself.
